Foundayo may affect how some tablets are absorbed because it changes the speed at which food and medicine move through the stomach. It can also increase the risk of low blood sugar when taken with insulin or certain diabetes medicines.
Tell your clinician about everything you use, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter treatments, vitamins, herbal remedies and other weight management products.
Foundayo and contraception
Foundayo may make the oral contraceptive pill less effective. Current prescribing information advises people taking the pill to use a non-oral method of contraception or add a barrier method for 30 days after starting treatment and for 30 days after each dose increase.
Do not stop or change your contraception without speaking to a healthcare professional. Your clinician can help you find an option that feels practical and gives you the protection you need.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Foundayo should not be used during pregnancy. Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, are planning a pregnancy, are breastfeeding or are having fertility treatment. If you become pregnant while taking Foundayo, stop taking it and contact your prescriber promptly for advice.
